Is Swollen Body Lymph Nodes With Sjogrens Sign Of Lymphoma?

Good evening..i am currently being tested for suspected sjogrens...my mother is a survivor of lymphoma..being that this runs in my genes and just now developing this sjogrens, ive noticed that not only are my lymph glands swollen in my neck, underarms but also my groin area...is this common for groin lymphs to be swollen with sjogrens? I am feeling worse everyday, with flu like symptoms, brusing between thighs , dry eyes and excessive unquenchable thrist..are any of these symptoms a part of lymphoma? Thank you for your time, Pandora

HI

Often, the first sign of lymphoma is a painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, under an arm, or in the groin.

Lymph nodes and/or tissues elsewhere in the body may also swell. The spleen, for example, may become enlarged in lymphoma.
The enlarged lymph node sometimes causes other symptoms by pressing against a vein or lymphatic vessel (swelling of an arm or leg), a nerve (pain, numbness, or tingling), or the stomach (early feeling of fullness).
Enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly) may cause abdominal pain or discomfort.
Many people have no other symptoms.
Symptoms of lymphoma includes

Fevers
Chills
Unexplained weight loss
Night sweats
Lack of energy
Itching (up to 25% of patients develop this itch [pruritus], most commonly in the lower extremity but it can occur anywhere, be local, or spreading over the whole body)
Loss of appetite
Shortness of breath
Lymphedema
Back or bone pain
Neuropathy
Blood in the stool or vomit
Blockage of urine flow
Headaches
Seizures
